|rename Compo as Composant
| search Composant="Firewall" Editeur="" Metier="" Platform="*"
| foreach Hostname [eval temp = if(match(Parent,Hostname), "hello", "Noooooo") ]

@kacel,

Try this

| inputlookup Obso_Inventory.csv
| eval Compo=case(Composant="WAF", "LBWAF", Composant="LOAD BALANCER", "LBWAF", Composant="PROXY", "Browsing", 
                  Composant="FIREWALL", "Firewall", Composant="GATEWAY SSL", "Remote Access", 
                  Composant="GATEWAY SSL VPN", "Remote Access", Composant="IPS", "Anti-Intrusion", 
                  Composant="TAP", "Anti-Intrusion")
|rename Compo as Composant
| search Composant="Firewall" Editeur="" Metier="" Platform="*" 
| eventstats values(Parent) as _tmp
| eval found=if(isnull(mvfind(_tmp,Hostname)),0,1)

Thank you very much the result shows 1 when it is a match and 0 else .

its the best way to find same value of coulumn without using loops between two culumn
thank u.

sure. Last two lines can be rewritten as below to give a better idea

| eventstats values(Parent) as tmp
 | eval found=if(isnull(mvfind(tmp,Hostname)),0,1)

By using eventstats we create a list of "Parents" for each row. Host name is then matched against this list which returns null for non-matching and an index for matching records . The result is then evaluated using if and assigns to "found" . 1 and 0 can be replaced with any values for e.g. "Yes","No" etc

Hope this helps!

Parent and Hostname must match exactly.
Please edit your query to show how the Parent and Hostname fields are obtained.
